University Information
Baylor students are eligible to study abroad with a GROUP STUDY ABROAD PROGRAM or an EXCHANGE/AFFILIATE PROGRAM. Both types of programs are available in the summer and during the semester, some for a full year. It is possible, and encouraged, to study abroad more than once during a student's Baylor career and students may choose any program that interests them. Each program has a faculty or staff member who oversees the program and will be able to answer any specific questions a student might have.

"My semester abroad equipped me with experiences where I witnessed the beauty of varying cultures and the ability for humans to connect and communicate despite linguistic, cultural, social, and economic barriers. I met incredible people during my time abroad who stretched my thinking and showed me that when you strip everything e..."

"I learned to see the world through non-American eyes and it was extremely eye opening for me. It was definitely the most worthwhile experience I've ever had. There's nothing about my college career that I loved more than my experience at IAU."

Mark McComb Baylor University
"I gained a new perspective on life, a new language, some of the closest friends I've ever had in my life and experiences that will stay with me forever. It was more than worthwhile."
Darian G Baylor University
"The experience was beyond worthwhile. I learned so much about a new culture, new people and about myself. I learned not to give up on my sustainability driven career goals. I learned the importance of working with others and what can be accomplished with driven people and a common goal. I also learned that Iceland is absolutely,..."
Morgan G Baylor University
"Aside from enjoying the cultural aspects of being abroad, I found that having to be alone in a new country taught me things about myself that I wouldn't have learned otherwise. We also went on weekend trips to other parts of Ireland which was probably one of my favorites things about studying abroad. It was an opportunity I beli..."

"I gained a lot of insight into the thinking of people in the UK, going in an election year was great. I think it was worthwhile because I got to do many things that a lot of people never get to do."
A student Baylor University
"Appreciation for travel and the world. Ability to make friends and blend into a different culture. Increased language proficiency. Absolutely worthwhile, tons of fun. "
Matt S Baylor University
"I learned a lot about myself during the semester. I learned how to really get into another culture and experience living in a completely new environment. I found a new sort of independence and self-confidence to handle most any situation without relying on my parents. I made friends in the oddest places and was extremely blessed..."

"So worthwhile!!! I could write forever, so here is a brief essay: I always wanted to experience the world on my own, and after years of working towards that goal, I realized my dream. During my junior year, I spent an entire semester living in Madrid, Spain. Through a four-month study abroad program, I attended a local universi..."
Christy H Baylor University
"While abroad, I was exposed to a whole new world that did not resemble my conservative American background. Studying Spain allowed me to experience how people in another country live on a daily basis. Coming from America, I think we assume that our realities are representative of the rest of the world. This is not the case, and ..."

"How to fake it till you make it with confidence. Absolutely worth it. I'd do it a hundred times again. "
A student Baylor University
"I learned so much! About the world, about people, about myself- I don't think everything I learned would be able to fit in the expanse of this box. Yes it was worthwhile. Even with the hiccups and the problems, I would do this all over again. If I wasn't graduating in december, I probably would. I am already thinking of ways to ..."
A student Baylor University
"I improved my Spanish-speaking level and am now able to have educated conversations in Spanish. Also, I learned about the Argentine culture and the differences among different Spanish-speaking countries. Yes "
A student Baylor University
"Just because of the two classes I listed earlier it was hell. The program itself is great and I had some good times, although it was almost not worth it because of my class schedule"
A student Baylor University
"Goodness, I learned SO much from my experience abroad. I learned so much about South African culture, a lot of European countries' cultures, and people around the world. I learned what it's like to not have water nor electricity for hours. I learned how to love people deeper and wider, and how to appreciate every small detail of..."
Carly K Baylor University
"I gained a much more intimate knowledge of German culture, language, and everyday life, and I got to travel around the country and see things I'd dreamed of for years. It's an wonderful country filled with wonderful people, wonderful food, and wonderful sports. The environment nearly made up for a dismal educational experience i..."
Conner M Baylor University
"Seeing how other countries run their businesses and the different aspects of how the meetings were handled provided invaluable experience. It was definitely worthwhile and had a ton of fun to boot!"
A student Baylor University
"Other than huge progress in French, wherever you are, it is what you make. My time there was one of the hardest things I've ever done and I wanted to give up so many times but you have no choice but to put one foot in front of the other and make the best of the situation."
Taylor N Baylor University
"Everything? Can I just say that? Of course it was worthwhile, I learned so much and came back a very different person. I'd rather not spend the next two hours talking about the almost infinite number of things I gained and learned from the experience, also, most of these things are indescribable, so I'll stop there."
Zachary B Baylor University
"I learned how to better adapt, appreciate differences and changes, manage independence, and see life through so many different perspectives. Cliché, but easily one of the best experiences of my life."
Mary A Baylor University
"I learned that sometimes things will not go your way, but you need to look at the bigger picture. "
karisa.garner.3 Baylor University
"I learned that relationship with Jesus is crucial when abroad and that I am a capable and independent individual. Yes."
Sydney F Baylor University
"I learned so much it is hard to put it all in words. My experience was 100% worthwhile and I would do in again and recommend it in a heartbeat. I learned about myself, about other cultures particularly those of the Nordic region, about Computer Science and what aspects interest me and which do not, about cooking, about living on..."
